Michael Wolf

Michael Wolf also: Wolff, Wolfius , (born October 3, 1584 in Regensburg , † April 2, 1623 in Jena ) was a German mathematician, physicist, logician and metaphysicist.

Life

Michael was the son of the then rector in Regensburg, later rector of the grammar school in Weimar and local mayor Johann Wolf (* 1524 in Weimar; † November 3, 1602 ibid.) And his wife Elisabeth Schneller, who was married in 1556, daughter of the mayor of Weimar Hans Schneller . He seems to have laid his first educational foundations in Weimar . In the summer semester of 1601 he enrolled at the University of Jena , where on August 4, 1607 he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophical sciences. After taking part in the lectures at the Jena University, he was appointed professor of mathematics there in 1612 and became professor of physics in 1613. In 1616 he took over the professorship for logic and metaphysics at the Salana and tried to back up Aristotle's ideas with the Bible. He also participated in the organizational tasks of the university. He was dean of the philosophical faculty a few times and in the summer semester of 1617 rector of the alma mater . However, he did not last long, as he died at the age of thirty-eight.

Wolf married on June 6, 1614 in Gotha with Anna Wilke (* February 8, 1594 in Gotha; † June 17, 1622 in Jena), the daughter of the rector at the Gotha high school Andreas Wilke (* July 5, 1562 in Helmershausen; † June 19, 1631 in Gotha) and his wife Sabina Ferber (also Färber; * Ohrdruf), who married on October 28, 1592. Of the children from this marriage, one knows the daughter Annula (Anna, Hannula) Elisabeth Wolf, who was married to the Gotha rector Georg Heß and the son Andreas Wolf .
